Education and Outreach
We communicate the importance of mature and senescent trees to support biodiversity in urban environments.
In urban environments, natural habitats are small "ecological niches", which host the majority of biodiversity of our cities. To preserve such richness, it is crucial to maintain different natural elements, and trees in particular.
But how many and which species live in urban trees or rely on them for part of their life?
Finding it out will allow to improve our management strategies and preserve the biodiversity associated with them.









The objectives
analyze biodiversity
hosted by individual mature urban trees, with particular attention to vertical distribution and seasonal variability, using innovative methods
and traditional techniques;
support biodiversity
identifying the elements of the trees that are most important for the species hosted and help in their management;
make citizens more aware
of the importance of mature and senescent trees for the conservation of biodiversity in urban, peri-urban and rural environments;
